Bug #: 39502
Summary: <tag /> should be treated as <tag></tag>
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Parser
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Mobile Platform: ---
Users who are more familiar with XML than with HTML often write things like
<div style="clear:left;" />
The parser (function removeHTMLtags in Sanitizer.php) currently does this:
* If wgUseTidy is true, the pseudo-self-closed tag is left as is, and fixed by
Tidy to <div style="clear:left;"></div> (or not, bug 38273)
* If wgUseTidy is false, the tag is flagged as "bad" and escaped to <div
style="clear:left;" />
This is inconsistent, and makes it difficult to import text from a wiki with
Tidy into a wiki without.
So self-closed tags that should be in pairs should be closed automatically by
the parser. The current behavior was introduced as fix for bug 5487.
